“You’re not getting any younger you know, Nick.” My know-all older sister’s weekly ‘sermon’ about my health and mobility was bang on cue. “Can you still make it to the corner shop?”
“Only on my electric mobility aid.”
“So how d’you go on for groceries?”
“I either get them delivered or Pi brings them in on Tuesdays.”
“Who or what is Pi?”
“My Thai carer.”
“Male or female?”
“Female. And quite a looker.”
“I see. And how old – or young – is this woman, may I ask?”
“Nineteen. Very petite. Always turns up on a yellow bike, wearing alarmingly short cotton shorts and a Lycra tank top.”
“And is she good?”
“Worth every penny the local council gives me; brilliant in all departments.”
Gemma emptied her coffee mug, placed it on the kitchen table and with a raised eyebrow asked: “All departments?”
I gave a nonchalant shrug. “No nookie, if that’s what you’re hinting at.”
“Why ever not? Both your wives were younger than you. And has she got a nice figure?”
“Like I said – she’s petite. Tiny legs, tiny feet and no titties.”
“How’d you know? Have you undressed her?”
“Only in my mind. I tell you, she’s absolutely flat-chested.”
“How do you know she’s nineteen”
“I’ve seen her passport.”
“D’you think she’d be up for it?”
“You mean being fucked by a guy who’s four times her age?”
“Sure. If there was some extra ‘pin money' in it for her.”
Thoughts of forceable deportation and lurid newspaper headlines flashed through my mind. “That’s awful thin ice, Gemma.”
“Live dangerously, sweetie. You’ve said yourself she’s not underage: having a nice big member like yours sliding into her pert little quim might be just the thrill she’s missing.”
I’d forgotten how often my sister had eyed my manhood when we were youngsters. “Well, there is one area in which we might be able to get together discreetly, so to speak.
“What’s that?”
“I’m finding it increasingly difficult showering these days. I had a nasty slip the other day; nearly cracked my head on the faucet.” Gemma strolled across to the kitchen noticeboard and removed a card. Turning it over, she was confronted by a small photo of my Thai carer. “Isn’t she cute? Let me have a word with her, will you? Obviously you’ll have to offer to pay her extra.”
